    How Each Wand Is Made

    Every wand is hand finished to ensure strength, resilience, and a graceful silhouette.

Each piece is air-dried and finished for UK conditions, followed by a final inspection so it arrives ready to place in your garden and enjoy.

    Installation: quick & easy

    Set up takes minutes, with no specialist tools required.

    1. Push the stakes into moist watered soil for best bite

    2. Check alignment, then firm in with the heel or a mallet

    3. For harder ground, pilot holes make placement easy

    4. Leave space for plants to grow through the lattice

    Care, lifespan & weather

    Willow is a natural material, so it is normal for colour and patina to shift with seasons. The lifespan may be affected by exposure, drainage, and location. Expect a gentle silvering of tone as the willow weathers, becoming part of its natural charm. To maximise lifespan, ensure good drainage and avoid waterlogged spots. Give it a light spring brush-down to lift debris and keep the lines crisp, and in exposed sites add discreet ties for extra storm support.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How durable are The Woven Willow pieces outdoors?

    They’re outdoor-ready and lightweight to handle yet sturdy once set; tones may vary naturally over time, but with simple seasonal care they’re built to work hard and look beautiful for years.

    Will The Woven Willow start to grow or shed leaves?

    No. Each wand is hand crafted from fully cut willow, so it won’t re-root or leaf; it simply weathers naturally over time.

    Can I install The Woven Willow in pots or raised beds?

    Yes. Press the stakes into moist compost to ensure a firm hold (pilot holes help in dry soil); for tall runs or light fencing, add discreet ties for extra stability.

    How do I choose the right height for my plants?

    Match the design to plant maturity: lower wands for edging, alpines, and herbs; taller pieces for roses, peas, and beans.
